Reports

Krion6D application lets you create various reports in the Reports tool. The tool provides a central location for project members to view  and share reports. With Reports, project members can communicate important project data and distribute this data among the people who need it most.

The reports tool can be accessed under the Design section from the navigation pane.

 

Project Report:

This report lists the list of various projects under your organization.

 

Project Log Report

Project log report references to each project’ s log details.

 

Document Report

This report contains a list of all documents like Drawings, model files, and other PDFs related to all the projects.

Transmittals Report

Displays a list of all transmittals under all the projects in your organization

 

System File report

This report displays a list of all drawing files of all the projects

 

Review Report

 

Note:

·         Columns displayed in the report can be customized by clicking on

·         Report list can be filtered by clicking on

For example, if you want to filter .rvt files (Revit Files), click on the filter button of the Extension column and check on rvt.

 

·         Report entries can also be grouped by dragging and a column to the space provided, as shown below

 

Here the project report has been grouped by Category column. One or more columns can be grouped using this tool.

 

Create a Custom Report Template

Custom Report tool lets you create customized reports to generate data relevant to your project. Custom Report can be accessed from the reports list

To create a new custom report, click on , the custom report dialog will open

3D Viewer Interactive tools

There are many tools available in the Krion 6D application to interact with the 3D Model/drawings.

 

 

Details of the tools:

• Select: Choose specific elements or areas within the drawing for closer inspection or manipulation.
•  Orbit: Rotate the viewpoint around the drawing to view it from different angles and perspectives.
•    Pan: Move the view horizontally or vertically to explore different parts of the drawing without altering the zoom level.
• Zoom: Magnify or reduce your view of the drawing to focus on details or see the bigger picture.
• First Person: Navigate the drawing from a first-person perspective, simulating walking through the model. When we click on first person view various options to use along with shortcut keys will be displayed
• Camera Interactions: Manipulate the camera settings to change viewing angles and perspectives dynamically. This tool has various options:

• Roll: Adjusts the orientation of the camera view by rotating it around its axis. This feature is useful for achieving precise angles or for aligning the view with specific elements in the model.
• Focal Length: Changes the focal length of the camera, altering the perspective of the view. Increasing the focal length narrows the field of view, resulting in a zoomed-in appearance, while decreasing it widens the field of view, providing a broader perspective.
• Fit to View: Automatically adjusts the camera settings to fit the entire model within the current view window. This feature ensures that the entire model is visible without the need for manual adjustments, making it easier to navigate and work with large or complex models.

• Measure: Calculate distances and dimensions within the drawing to verify accuracy and scale.
• Section Analysis: Cut through the drawing at specified planes to examine internal structures and layouts. The various options in section analysis are:

• Add Box: Defines a rectangular box within the model to create a section cut, allowing users to analyze specific areas in detail.
• Add Z Plane: Inserts a vertical plane across the model, enabling users to create a section cut perpendicular to the Z-axis, revealing internal details along that plane.
•        Add Y Plane: Inserts a horizontal plane across the model, facilitating the creation of a section cut perpendicular to the Y-axis, exposing internal components along that plane.
• Add X Plane: Inserts a vertical plane across the model, facilitating the creation of a section cut perpendicular to the X-axis, revealing internal features along that plane.

• Markup: Annotate the drawings with notes, symbols, or sketches to provide feedback or highlight important features. Various Markup Options are as below:

o    Arrow Markup

o     Cloud Markup

o   Dimensions Markup

o    Ellipse Markup

o    Freehand Markup

o    Label Markup

o    Polyline Markup

o    Rectangle Markup

o    Close

All the markups have settings for changing the Stroke Width and Stroke Opacity

 

• External Data: Incorporate additional data from external sources into the drawing for enhanced analysis and comparison.
• Timeline: Review the progression of the project stages and changes over time through a chronological display.
• RFI/Issues: Track and manage Requests for Information and other issues directly within the project environment. While analysing and viewing models if there are any issue found, Issue or RFI can be created by marking the item in the model itself.
•   Ticket Creation: Generate and assign tickets for tasks or issues that need attention, facilitating project management.
• Model Placement: Position and orient models within the project environment to ensure they fit into the overall design.
• Explode Model: Break down the model into its constituent parts for a detailed examination of its construction.

 

Note: This button can used to increase/decrease the exposure level of each item.

• Model Browser: Navigate through a list or hierarchy of all model elements, making it easier to locate specific components.

 

Model Browser dialog box lists down all the elements of the 3D model which can be viewed individually by clicking on button.

• Properties: View and edit properties and metadata of selected elements or the overall drawing.

 

• Settings: Adjust the configuration of the 3D viewer tool to suit project needs or user preferences.

There are various settings available in the tool for Viewing the 3D model

Note:

·        Settings can be restored to default by clicking on

·         Settings dialog can be resized to view all the options.

§  Environment and Lighting selection: Enables to choose from a range of color options for lightening.

• Full Screen: Expand the viewing area to fill the entire screen, eliminating distractions and focusing on the drawing.
• View State: Save or restore a particular view setup, including camera angle, zoom level, and visible layers.

 

 

·         View can be saved and later retrieved

·         Saved state can be copied to be used in Issues/RFI creation.

·         View State can also be deleted.

• Navigation Viewer: Use interactive tools to smoothly navigate through the drawing, enhancing user control and orientation.
• Filter: Apply criteria to display only those parts of the drawing that meet specific conditions or attributes. By clicking on this tool Filter options will be displayed. You can add necessary filters by selecting from the options listed.

 

Items can be filtered by root level, Sublevel and item level by selecting from the drop-down menu.

Changing Views

The Views can also be changed by clicking on the below 3D view tool

A brief description of the various options under this view is given below:

 

·         Go Home: Return to the default or previously defined "home" view of the drawing for a familiar orientation point.

·         Orthographic: Switch to a 2D view where all the elements are uniformly scaled, eliminating perspective to allow for accurate measurements.

·         Perspective: View the model in a 3D perspective where elements are scaled relative to their distance from the viewpoint, enhancing depth perception.

·         Perspective with Ortho Faces: View the model in perspective, but flatten specific faces to orthographic view to combine depth with measurable accuracy on key suARFces.

·         Set Current View as Home: Define the current view as the "home" view, allowing you to quickly return to this perspective at any time.

·         Focus and Set as Home: Center the view on a selected element and define this focused view as the new "home" view.

·         Reset Home: Revert the "home" view to the default or the last saved view state, discarding any changes made since.

·         Set Current View as Front: Designate the current view as the front view, standardizing the orientation for future reference.

·         Set Current View as Top: Establish the current view as the top view, providing a consistent overhead perspective for accessing the model.

·         Reset Orientation: Return the view to the original or default orientation, disregarding any rotational changes made during the session.
